Max your stats by level 4… then tell us how you did it

Guides written by: Daniel Acaba, Tyler Nagata

You won’t make it to the end if you can’t get through the beginning. You can’t get through the beginning? Really? We hope not. Fallout 3’s Intro throws you right into the game and teaches you to play at the same time, but it’s not that tough. Nonetheless, we’re sure you’ve missed a few things, done something wrong or decided to play on Very Hard.

Of course, there’s no absolute wrong way to play Fallout, but here are just a few things you could do more right after reading our guide: Wonder if you happened to miss a +10 science bobble head found on your father’s desk? Or you’re not sure if speech, barter and unarmed were the right skills to tag? Don’t worry. We have all the answers in an easily printable and flip-through-able guide that you can tape on the wall next to your TV to impress your friends.

    I can't believe they called the pyromaniac perk a waste. It's one of the best perks in the game. It gives the flamer, if at full repair, an amazing attack power of 160 when coupled with bloody mess. The shishkebab also benefits from it and has the highest attack power of any melee weapon when this perk is chosen. Who ever it is that wrote this guide should definitely consider editing the pyromaniac perk.

    You know what really gives you a heart attack/makes you crap your pants? Going into a dark sewer and getting jumped from behind by a Mulurk, Molerat, and Raider (wtf i thought they would kill each other!)

    @ELpork: Thank you very much. I'm having a lot of fun putting these together. This is definitely one of the best games I've played in years.

    You say in the guide that the D-pad isn't used, but it is in fact used as an Oblivion-style shortcut key, eight directions and all.

    This game is awesome. It is a great tribute to the excellence of the original, while a fresh take of it's own. The wife has been getting a bit neglected since it came out, though!

    Nice guide. Just to let you know, you forgot the Waters of Life part of the main quest.

    heres a hint to a successful Fallout 3 character. whatever u do, do NOT finish the main storyline's last quest "Taking it back!" because u cant continue from the end.
